Lyrics:

FARE THEE WELL
Todd Cooper/Doug Powell/Alan Parsons

In a Dream Within A Dream
We saw beyond the sky
And drew a constellation
In the shape of Gemini
We turned our sails into the wind
And climbed up to the heights
Raised a glass and made a toast
And wrote our name in lights

Forever and ever
Children Of The Moon
In The Lap Of The Gods

Fare thee well

Echoes and effigies
Whispering your name
Drifting farther from your Voice
Silenced with so much left to say
And the space that you left behind
Cannot be disguised
Raise a glass and make a toast
To One In Paradise

Forever and ever
Silence be damned
Your songs will live on

Fare thee well

Time and tide will carry me
From The Last Goodbye
I can hear Don’t Answer Me
With the Sky in your Eye
When The Raven tapped upon your door
He was singing your own tune

Son of Wolf
And father of words
The curtains closed too soon
Fare thee well

THE SECRET
Mark Mikel/Jeff Kollman/Guy Erez/Alan Parsons

Just a little bit of the intricate
Hands moving on the sly
Watch my very quick and magical trick
It's much faster than the eye
And if you blink you'll miss it rightly so
And you know many try
To figure it out all alone
They don't get it

Don't look away from me
You won't get it
Don't look away from me
I might have something up my sleeve
That challenges your belief
Don't ever look away from me
If you want to know the secret

Sorry, can't resist giving fate a twist
But no one needs to be afraid
No mirrors or wires or no flash of fire
It's well within your gaze
And if you blink you'll miss it rightly so
And you know life's too hard
To figure out alone
You won't get it

Don't look away from me
You won't get it
Don't look away from me
I might have something up my sleeve
That challenges your belief
Don't ever look away from me
If you ever want to know the secret

Can’t look away from you
You won’t get it
Don’t look away from me
I might have something up my sleeve
That challenges your belief
Don't ever look away from me
If you ever want to know the secret

UROBOROS
Todd Cooper/Doug Powell/Alan Parsons

I walk the line to find
To see ahead I look behind
And it’s all right
Sometimes I climb Escher stairs
Never leading anywhere
But it’s all right
From fractal to the galaxy
A revolution spiraling
And it’s all right
Sooner or later
Your luck will betray you
But tables will turn
And you’ll learn the behavior
It’s all right

Got your tail in your mouth
And so it goes round and round
It’s the rule of the ring
It’s the kiss of the uroboros

It’s the secret clocks tell time
One turns and the other flies
And it’s all right
Another wheel inside a wheel
Inside another you can’t feel
And it’s all right

What is lost will be found
As the serpent coils round and round
Now the future’s the past
In the grasp of the uroboros

Round and round again
Where the end begins
Back where the beginning arrives
Season cycle spins
And the winter wind
Turns to summer’s sigh
Familiar stranger in
Some eternal return
Heads and tails flip
As fortunes turn

Got your tail in your mouth
And so it goes round and round
And It’s the rule of the ring
It’s the kiss of the uroboros
Now the future’s the past
In the grasp of the uroboros

DON’T FADE NOW
Guy Erez/Andy Ellis/Alan Parsons

If I leave the path will you show me the way
Been stuck on this road for too many days
All the future feels just like the past
I figure it’s time that I asked

How is it somehow I got left behind
With all the adventures I had in mind
A heart full of dreams while I was asleep
Are promises I’ll never keep

Don’t fade now
The best surprise
Is you’re alive
Don’t fade now
The unknown
Is your new home

If I make you smile will you tell me your name
I’ll be a friend if there’s sun or there’s rain
I don’t know if there’s peace to be found
But there’s no turning around

While I’m walking this mystical land
Will you use your magic and give me a hand
I’ll be a fool if I try to decide
If I’m a fool or I’m wise

Don’t fade now
The best surprise
Is you’re alive
Don’t fade now
The unknown
Is your new home

Young eyes don’t know they’re blind
A sinking ship won’t change their mind
Wish I knew the fog was mine
Sailing through the mist of time

If I leave the path will you show me the way
Been stuck on this road for too many days
I’ll be a fool if I try to decide
If I’m a fool or I’m wise

Don’t fade now
The best surprise
Is you’re alive
Don’t fade now
The unknown
Is your new home

GIVE EM MY LOVE
James Durbin/Julian Colbeck/Alan Parsons

Through all the years of wasted time
The twists, the turns, the wrongs, and the rights
Was it all to lead to where you lie?
How long till the angels fly?

Holding on until the break of day
Letting go I pray you’ll always save
Every soul you see along the way
When you’re gone
Give ‘em my love
Give ‘em my love

Beyond the roses and the cards
What you mean to everyone
“Spread the love” that’s what you’d say
You never know who you could save
Your memory is strong
And you won’t stop living

Holding on until the break of day
Letting go I pray you’ll always save
Every soul you see along the way
When you’re gone

No more patience
No more time
No more reason
No more rhyme
Every step along the way
Give ‘em my love
Give ’em my love
Give ’em my love
Give ’em my love
Give ’em my love

OBSTACLES
Mark Mikel/Jeff Kollman/Alan Parsons

Obstacles great and small
Stand in my path
To form a wall
And challenge me to find another way
If I were a constable
Answering your call
I'd never see these obstacles at all
And walk through them like puddles in the rain

Obstacles that gather here
Laugh in my face
And taunt my fears
And tower like a mountain to the sky
If I were an architect
With a vision and a plan
All barriers would fall at my command
To life before these obstacles began

If I were a scientist
With equations in my brain
I'd calculate these obstacles away
And splash through them like puddles in the rain

And every motivation
Every undertaking
Feeds passion for a phase
Where hopefully your sympathy awaits
Where obstacles are gone as yesterday

I WON’T BE LED ASTRAY
David Minasian/Kim Bullard/Alan Parsons

I feel you
I hear you call
Don’t know which way to fall

You touch me
You guard my soul
Praying I’ll soon be whole

But poisons consume me
Deceivers entomb me
My back’s against the wall
I long for the time
When I don’t have to crawl

And I won’t be led astray
Dawn’s rays kiss the road
And light the way
Losing this heavy load
Can you help me break away
From fears that bind
And rules I can’t obey
In your arms I want to stay

I need you
I want you near
Feel so lost when you’re not here

They want to control me
They try to console me
Like headlights to a deer
I dare not follow them anymore
My path is clear

And I won’t be led astray
Dawn’s rays kiss the road
And light the way
Losing this heavy load
Can you help me break away
From fears that bind
And rules I can’t obey
In your arms I want to stay

And I won’t be led astray
Dawn’s rays kiss the road
And light the way
Can you help me break away
From fears that bind
And rules I can’t obey
In your arms I want to stay

I want to stay
Forever in your arms

YOU ARE THE LIGHT
Dan Tracy/Keith Howland/Alan Parsons

This angry world can be so harsh
But you kept the faith in the human race
You never spoke the words that scarred
You played your ace when you broke cold ways
In truth we’re not so far apart

You are the light in this world
Under a burning star
In an empty space you’ve come so far
You are the light in this world

When darkness rules an empty heart
Set the world aglow with a brilliant show
It only takes a single spark
Let the fire grow, let the people know
It doesn’t have to be so hard

You are the light in this world
Under a burning star
In an empty space you’ve come so far
You are the light in this world
We are the light in this world

Through all life’s aggravations
The trials and tribulations
The light still burns within us all
Let’s start coming together now
Got to rise above it and show them how

You are the light in this world
Under a burning star
In an empty space you’ve come so far
You are the light in this world

Just like the burning sun
You can shine your light on everyone

Put your hands up and feel that sound
Put your hands up and feel the light shine down
Put your hands up and feel that sound.
Put your hands up and feel the love going round
You are the light in this world
We are the light in this world

Put your hands up and feel that sound
Put your hands up and feel the light shine down
Put your hands up and feel that sound.
Put your hands up and feel the love coming down

HALOS
PJ Olsson/Dan Tracey/Alan Parsons

And you’re in and you’re out
And you play their mind games
While the stranger in your soul
Is lost in the shame
Posturing politics
Lies are now the new norm
Chances will be better
If together if we can battle this

Storm of the new day that is in us all
Halos in the shadows don’t let us fall

We call it soccer
Or just maybe we all call it a football game
And come elections
We can watch it as they trade the blame
Emotional litter
On the road to becoming a sacred soul
I think together we are better
We can win this…

Game of the new way that’s in us all
Halos in the shadows don’t let us fall

There is a chance that if we fake it
We will break the sky
Throw up our hands, look at each other
And keep wondering why
Chances are better together
As we battle this…

Game of the new day that’s in us all
Halos in the shadows don’t let us fall
The perfect parade but no-one came
Halos in the shadows don’t let us fall

Goin’ Home
Antonin Dvorak/William Arms Fisher
Re-imagined by Tom Brooks/Alan Parsons

Goin' home, goin' home
I'm just goin' home
Quiet like, some still day
I'm just goin' home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Goin' to fear no more

Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew

Nothing lost, all is gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Goin' to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life just begun

There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Goin’ on and on

Goin' home, goin' home
I'm just goin' home
It’s not far, just close by
Through an open door
Through an open door
I’m just goin' home

Ellie Greenwich/Jeff Barry/Phil Spector

The night we met I knew I needed you so
